i don't know anything about this show other than it's about girls, and the one main girl is apparently naked all the time. but judging from every commercial i've seen from it, i can't imagine myself every enjoying a second of it.

I've watched the first 4 episodes and i still don't know if I like it, im pretty sure it is exactly what most girls life's are like, and while that can be interesting, it is also mentally exhausting watching the drama

My wife enjoys it also...she was weepy during the last few episodes. It's on my long queue of shows to watch....but will it get renewed?

Not to make a separate post, but there has been some Dexter casting news. Charlotte Rampling will play "a neuro-psychiatrist who specializes in working with young psychopaths and profiling criminals in unorthodox ways."

Spoiler:

Harrison?

Also, Sean Patrick Flanery will play a private investigator of some sort.

The producers want this, the eighth season, to be the last....but Showtime hasn't said anything yet.

Girls is like a sitcom to me. People getting into unrealistic shenanigans and acting abhorrent with no apparent consequences. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's a little like Seinfeld for annoying hipsters.
